...teaching, and have dedicated myself to education in different capacities for the past few years. I have experience working with children with disabilities, so I know how to tailor lessons for each individual student. Student centered learning is best. If a student has a hard time learning material, the teacher must change how he/she teaches. It is also important to get to know the person with whom you work, as well. I am a very...

...friends with physics and math. I really enjoyed it, partly because I wanted to help them succeed , and partly because by tutoring, I developed a better understanding of the topics I was teaching. In College, I am still involved in peer tutoring among my friends and classmates. Outside of classes, I spend a lot of time singing in an a cappella group, working in a chemical engineering lab, and playing soccer.

I have a passion for life long learning, whether it be through listening to podcasts, reading books, watching documentaries or talking to others. As a tutor and teacher, I believe that getting to know your students and meeting them where they are is the key to success. I love competing athletically, specifically in soccer, rowing, and basketball.

...are the same, and therefore there is no "right approach" to tutoring. Rather, I try to meet students where they are, and find ways to help them accomplish whatever goals they have in mind, be it an SAT score, a better writing style, or a new approach to studying history. I have helped hundreds of students with SAT preparation, and have worked both around the United States and internationally as a private tutor and college...

...student who, for whatever reason, is looking to improve his or her math skills. Whether you are struggling to grasp new concepts or looking to deepen your understanding of what you are being taught, I can help you. My approach to making math understandable is to explain many different examples to help you build confidence in your abilities and use real life applications wherever possible to keep it interesting. When Im not working I enjoy...

I am a gifted communicator who is capable of excelling at any task presented. An educator first in everything I do, I bring an empathetic and dutiful approach to my work that places a high premium on creating a positive learning environment. You will find me a very passionate and valuable member of the team.... I believe in a multifaceted approach that combines visual, oral, and written teaching methods that focuses on explaining both the "why" and "how" of a topic. Arguably the most difficult obstacle to overcome as a teacher is to demonstrate the importance of what is being learned in a context that the student both understands and appreciates. I make it a point to not only have a student understand the method, but also the importance of that they are learning.

...was accepted into very good colleges and programs. That was my goal. I couldn't reach that goal without my mentor. My mentor taught me more than just English, Writing, ACT/SAT, he taught me humility, determination, and confidence. For these reasons, I am still in contact with him today. As a tutor-- mentor-- I will help my mentee achieve their goals (academic and mental). I will work with them hour by hour to the best of...
